Anyone have any experience with getting performance parts at a junkyard?

vfast is right about that! you would have better luck finding stuff at a swap meet or car show at the dragstrip.
you might try www.stangparts.com if you know exactly what you're looking for. They're a big yard in Winder, GA that specializes in Mustang used parts.

yeah, its rare to find performance parts at a junkyard. but if you go enough, you can make some amazing finds. friend of mine picked up some $1000 a piece corbeau racing seats for $125 for both....i was pissed that he found them first.
